This is sweet.

Block inlays...binding...some kind of natural/butterscotch transparent finish...and MIJ Wide Range Humbuckers, which is about the only pickup they make better than the American/Mexican factory.

Apparently this isn't a one off, but factory made over there. Found it on Ishibashi. Their prices astound but their shipping makes it not worth it.

That looks great and the hollowed out body for those extra long sets. 8)

Looks like it, but a wonky headstock. :?

I really like the binding on the one you posted and the headstock looks better...much better!!! 8)

Yeah it's nice. Wish I could say I owned it! According to xe.com, it costs about $938, and their shipping is like $150.
